Welcome to ChitChat!

Happy World Cross Stitch Day! Today is kind of like our own personal holiday and who doesn't love a good holiday...especially when it's stitching related! Today, and today only, we've got something going on that will help you celebrate this fun national day! (**cough, cough...it's right at the top of the homepage so you can't miss it 😉) This day (second Friday in August) was created for everyone around the world, who love to cross stitch, to get together in mind and spirit and celebrate this great art form! We hope you have fun getting your stitch on and we'd love to see how you're celebrating World Cross Stitch Day!! Share your pics and projects below!! ~Kristi @ ECS

Haven't seen Sewn Blessings on in awhile! Hope all is well with her!

Good morning this fine Friday everyone. I have to admit the last few days I have been under the weather with sinus issues and body aches, but I woke up this morning feeling refreshed. The weather is remaining cool and comfortable. Today I will continue to tackle my first sampler and I think I figured out how to do tiny little stitches within the 18 ct. Aida for the lettering and for the doves and swan. That will be a challenge, but I feel up to it. Thank you to all who have offered encouragement. I love learning new things with cross stitch. I regret that I only took this hobby up again five years ago. That's my news today. Hope everyone has a good day! P.S. Today's meme is in memory of my Southern born mother, aunts, and grandmother.

Goodbye July, Hello August -- and Hello also to our beginning-of-the-month 'Show and Tell'! What have you been working on in recent weeks, and/or what have you recently completed? There have been a few completed projects posted in the past day or two, are there others to be shared too? If you like, post a photo of you've been working on; if you prefer, tell us in words. As always, looking forward to seeing everyone's work!

What type and count fabric was used? What size is the design? What type and color thread is used. Like the design but will not buy if I don’t at least know the design size and fabric count!

Loves her car seat! She was a hit at the camp counselors party the other night! Went swimming in the big pool! Today she is going to camp for a few hours for the last day! The kids will love her! Tomorrow we may go to Lancaster for the day! We will take Snickerdoodle with us so she won't have to be in her crate all day!

Today is………..

She finally has a name, today was her first public appearance.
